Welsh Greens have called for reinstating puberty blockers for trans youth in Wales in their manifesto
“A YOUTH GENDER
SERVICE
We will support NHS Wales to publish
its own guidance independent from
NHS England which protects the health
of trans people on the basis of the
internationally recognised best practice.
We will establish a dedicated gender
service for young people under 17 to
access support and therapy, provide
resources such as voice training, and offer
advice to parents, alongside dedicated
routes to healthcare provision (both
mental health and physical). The service
will also provide support for accessing
adult youth services to avoid facing gaps
in support. Talking therapies, HRT, and
puberty blockers should all be accessible.
While HRT may need to be delayed for
younger people due to Westminster rules,
puberty blockers have been shown to be
safe and effective as a treatment method”
